Deadpool#54 DEAD Part Five
Writer: Daniel Way Art: Garza, Parsons, Dommo
DP has lost the ability to heal and is on the run with his buddy Bob from Tombstone, Kingpin, and X-Force. It was a very disappointing and anticlimactic ending to this story arc. I'm not quite sure what the repercussions for Wade Wilson and this title are but I'm interested to find out.
Verdict: SKIM

Secret Avengers#26 AvX Tie-in
Writer: Rick Remender Art: Renato Guedes, Bettie Breitweiser
Someone forgot to tell Guedes that Beast looks like a buff Kitty Kat now. Thor wants to relive his collegiate days with a night of ale amongst friends. This team gets mutilated in space by the Phoenix. Superheroes never stay dead. Two of the Avengers think to aid the Phoenix. The art texture, shading, detail blew me away.
Verdict: SKIM

Avenging Spider-Man#7
Writer: Kathryn Immonen Art: Stuart Immonen and Von Grawbadger
Not the best art I've seen on this title or by Immonen. Funny, one-shot filler story. Good characterization of She-Hulks lawyering and Spideys nerdyness.
Verdict: SKIM

Batman&Robin#9 Night of The Owls
Writer: Peter J. Tomasi Art: Garbett, Clarke, McCarthy, Champagne
Further solidifies Damian Wayne as a BA and the most hardcore Robin. Revolutionary War Talon back story tie-in. This is an all out unleashed Robin issue.
Verdict: BUY

Batman#9 Night of The Owls
Writer: Snyder Art: Capullo, Glapion
Bruce Wayne builds and dons his own original Iron Man-like suit to take on the assault of the Talon. The art continues to be impressive with an array of colors and environments.
The Fall of The House of Wayne Part 1 of 3
Writers: Snyder, James Tynion IV Art: Rafael Albuquerque
Alfred Pennyworths father, Jarvis', telling of the beginning of the Court of The Owls attack on the Wayne family. The art fits this period piece all too well.
